CAA Sabotaging Airlines by Closing Runways Ahead of Fog
In a notice to airmen (NOTAM), the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has closed runways of five major airports of the country for domestic/international flights.
According to the details, CAA has issued a notification in this regard which stated that the runways are not available “due to operational reasons” at Peshawar, Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, and Multan.
Baaghi TV has learnt from reliable sources that this move by the aviation regulatory body is a sabotage with the airlines as five runways of different major airports of the country have been shut down right when the fog season is approaching. It cannot be a mere coincidence.

Illegal appointments affecting CAA’s performance
CAA, which was formed in December of 1982, is considered to be an autonomous body thereby, it has the sole right to establish its own laws and code of conduct. Ultimately, there is some potential for such a body to turn into a mafia which coerces individuals and/or other bodies into its fixed mold or worse, blackmailing them into submission.
However, fact of the matter is that we have appointed highly incompetent, inexperienced and unqualified people on these positions. Unfortunately, the CAA has been reduced to a dumping ground for retired services officers, lacking in skills and competence for oversight of such projects. It takes more than the skills of a pilot to serve as an advisor for aviation or perform the role of DG CAA.

There is no lack of qualified and experienced specialists in Pakistan. However, it is a lack of political will, integrity and ethics of governance such as conflicts of interest, disregard for merit and failure to enforce accountability for wastage of public funds that haunts all development projects and their regulatory oversight in Pakistan.

Nepotism, corruption and mismanagement continues to engulf the PCAA. Many believe that favouritism and nepotism has ruined the performance of the authority risking lives of hundreds of thousands of passengers. The only criteria for appointment or promotion in the CAA is to have sufficient strings to pull, or a close relative/friend in authority.
Transparency and discipline must be enforced within the CAA and other regulatory agencies. The Government of Pakistan should take action against the authorities who are responsible for the damage and review the current organisational setup of the recruiting body.
